Mandeep S. Chhabra

Mandeep Chhabra prepares every case like it’s going to trial — because that’s what changes outcomes.

Mandeep S. Chhabra is the managing member of Cochran & Chhabra and has practiced law in Maryland since 2000, focusing on DUI and DWI defense, criminal defense, and plaintiff’s personal injury. He has been named a Maryland Super Lawyer every year since 2013 — and a Rising Star before that.

He earned his J.D. from the University of Maryland School of Law and a B.A. in Psychology from Boston University. Mandeep credits both his psychology background and growing up as a minority in Maryland with helping him understand what his clients are really facing — not just the charges on paper.

He carries forward the standard set by the firm’s founder, Gill Cochran: prepare every case like it’s going to trial. Mandeep is SFST-certified and a member of the National College for DUI Defense and the Million Dollar Advocates Forum.

What clients say about Mandeep & the firm · 195 Google reviews

For 40-plus years, I referred clients to Gill Cochran. Since his passing, his partner Mandeep Chhabra has stepped in — those are big shoes to fill, and Mr. Chhabra is already outgrowing them.
